The book provides a lucid analysis of all Ian McEwan fiction
published to date, from his 1975 debut short stories up to the 2016
novel Nutshell, spanning forty years of his literary career. Apart
from a general discussion of McEwan's works, the study offers a
uniform focal point: it concentrates on one of the key issues taken
up by the writer - the aspect of relationships between partners and
between family members. As the book demonstrates, the novelist
employs interpersonal relations to establish a pertinent context in
which he can dramatically portray the process of identity formation
in his characters. Throughout his fiction, McEwan consistently uses
references to psychoanalysis, either veiled or direct. The proposed
book investigates the novelist's oeuvre through the lens of the
psychoanalytic theory developed by Jacques Lacan. The approach used
makes the book useful both for readers well familiar with this
apparatus, and for those who need introduction to Lacanian
psychoanalysis and such of his concepts as "desire," "fantasy,"
"the symbolic order" or " the Name-of-the-Father."
